I love this. I've often told my spouse that some of my best holiday memories growing up were always about the experiences. Granted, I was very fortunate to have more than my fair share of toys which I thoroughly enjoyed, but could I remember half of them now? Nope. But do I remember the times at my grandparents, with the smells of the holiday dinner wafting through and being prepared? Yep.
Everyone grumbles, but everyone looks forward to it. This year we are all in competition mode which makes it that much more. Like you, it all started with my grandparents who make the holidays more than gifts.

Thank you for sharing Lee!
